well, same case here. I got the pics directly from internet and nothing has been done to them. I got the same problem here, and I suspect it might be related to 480p settings..
hmm, my Geexbox can recognize the usb drive and read it with no problem, but usb loader cannot respond it all and just show me black screen...I still wish there is a way to fix this stupid problem.
THe picture only shows the adapter to SATA drive, and I didnt see any IDE adapter over there as they claim in the aution title.."USB 2.0 to IDE SATA 2.5 3.5 Hard Drive Converter Cable". I wonder if it can really work on my laptop IDE drive..
